“I am now three months into growing my beard and loving every minute of it… wife is not too keen, says it looks scruffy and makes me look too old (I think I still look 21, and it's not scruffy)

“Happily retired from work after being a driving instructor for 43 years… met some interesting people… my wife included.

“Also a life long Chelsea supporter… Also do some Air gun shooting.

“I have two dogs which keep me fit with all their walks.

“Looking forward to meeting fellow beardies in the near future.”
